The ! question now arises : how did they get j rich t Everybody wants to know, and I everybody reiterates the question : i How is it that Mr. , being born of humble parentage, and having grown flttihood in the vale of poverty, has lieepiue so wealthy, and is looked up to by so many of our citizens, and his acquaintance and social intercourse1 sought after eagerly by men who onees deapipllip ay ylit tie, tallow faced market boy f The answers to such interrogatories are commonly thus: 0, don't ask me about Mr. , he s almost superhuman and can make a- fortune easily where other peo ple would starve but really it is a gn at mystery how he does It He must be especially favored by the Deity, or he if a diabase man.

This is the great secret of success. A neighbor says he would plant a vineyatd, but can't spare time from his farm to give it his attention. Plant your vineyard, neighbor enlti vale it in mme kind of crop, and when ever you find yourself idle, set np your stakes, tie np your vines and prune little when necessary, and you will reap a golden harvest from odd moments. ipBapoae next week to lay before the reader some statistics connected with Grape Growing and the profit thereof.

Although, as a general rule, we think it best to defer making hot beds until February, still there are mmmmmno when it may profitably be done in January, and, in any case, a few suggestions may not be amiss at i lie present timei fMi ? e The ntajority of persons, even among those who have every facility for erect ing hot beds, are apt to neglect them, ither because they think them too troublesome, r uaprotitable, except in the hands of iirofessional earrfeiiers. This is a great mistake. Every one w ho l.a a garden should have hot bed., sufficient at least to grew vegetable plant, if not to grow the early vegeta bles themselves. Haifa dozen sash fitted on a wooden fraaae will grow cat bage, tomato, let t uoe, pepper and egg plants enough for a large family, and wiB require but lit t le care, which will be far more than rompens tted by having early vegeta bles. But in a Idition to these plants, lettuce and raddisheg may he grown f or the table in the same kind of beds, and are very desirable in the early Kpriug months before out-doer vegeta tion is advanced. The operation of making these beds is very simple, and has heretofore been described in our pages. It is ia brief a follows: Make the bottom of the bed of fresh stable manure, and tramp mm it ia quite solid sod inches deep, makine to correspond pat Oil the The dairv maid, the farmer's wife, Shall be the toast we utter t Alone, man leads a crusty lite, without, gimniiaitiipiiii JVvrfliaWe have cut from the Alta Californiau a receipt lor the cure of neuralgia, which the editor of that paper claims to have been efifectiye in several cases to his own, knowledge.

Half a dozen dif ferent persons have since tried the re ceipt, and in every case an immediate cure has been effected.

The next day the hog was entirely free from all vermin. Norfolk Journal. . mtnmm'-mm0: A the and 8top.-Every farmer should carefully save all the wood ashes and suds that are available about the home stead. The former, if not previously used for leeching, should be kept dry under shelter until they are required upon the land, and the latter should be carefully added to tne compost heap being rich in the elements that con stitute the food of the plants. Cleaning out Fence Jtowt. Seize eve ry available opportunity for grubing up and clearing out the wild growth that springs up along the fence rows, not only does tins precaution add greatly to the neatness of a farm, but it pre vents in a great measure the fields from being overrun with noxious plants by the scattering of their seeds from the fence rows. An old picture represents a king sit ting in state, with a label, ' I govern all 'a bishop with a legend, I pray for all' a soldier with a motto, I fight for all' and a farmer, drawing forth reluctantly a purse, with the in scription, 4 1 pay for all." There is more truth than poetry in the idea. Pear trees planted on rich moist and bottom land are liable to the blight, while on nigh, dry, rolling land, they re generally healthy. Wet land should be nnderdrained for pears, or other fruit trees. Typical Tram. For gouty people the ache corn. For antiquarians the date. For school boys the birch. For Irishmen the och.

The best way to domestikate them that I ev saw iz tew surround them gently with a steel trap; yu kan then reason with them tew advantage. flats are migratorous ; they migrate whatever they hav a mind to. Pizen is also good for rats; it softens their moral natur.

THE LIFE OF Lieutenant-Colonel C. C. COLE, One of the former Editors of " The Times." Quo diffldUiuM, hoc praxlariut. BY WILL. L. SCOTT. CHAPTER V. Capt Cole's regiment was organ ized on the 30th day of May, 1861. During its first year in the service, it was nut in a single musket, hand-to-hand engagement, yet the time of offi cers and men was not unprofitably speut. Drilling was their meat and bread for the first two months, aud, when it left Baleigh for the city of Richmond, on the 10th of August, it was a large, well-drilled, well-disciplined, splendid regiment Spending a fortnight t lit re, it marched to Acqnia Creek where it was placed under the eommandof Gen. Holmes, of this State. Thence, it marched, in September, to Kvansport on the "Potomac where it went mto winter-quarters. There those intrepid heroes first heard the terrible shrieking, whizzing and explosion of shells ami shrapnell, with which they were afterward "destined to become so familiarly acquainted. On the day Capt Cole first snuffed the war breeze, he displayed that remarkable coolness and composure under severe firing, whicfiso pre-eminently distin guished him on eighteen bloody battle-fields. Hiseyelpndled into blazing brightness at the music of the artillery, and, as danger thickened around, his judgment seemed to grow clearer and brighter. On the grand retreat of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston from the heights of Ccn treville, in the Spring of 1862, the Twenty-Second regiment fell back to Fredericksburg, They remained there a month and were reviewed on the fields which were afterward ensanguin ed by the heart-blood of sterling South ern and Northern patriots. Thence, they marched by way of Richmond down the Peninsula to the old and re nowned village of Yorktown in time to relieve Brig. Gen. Maqrudsr, who was then severely pressed by the van guard of the Federal General. On the retreat up the Peninsula, this regiment was not engaged by the enemy ; but it suffered no little 'from hard marching and protteaJtfleiag. For several days, the men received nothing except parched corn and of that not a sufficient allowance. To soldiers nearly fam ished, this, at that time of the war, seemed almost cruel neglect and insult ing mockery. Shortly after the arrival of our great and noble army before Richmond, Col. Pettigkew was promoted -to. the office of Brigadier-General, and Liohtfoot was chosen Colonel of the Twenty-Second. Under his command, on the 30th of May, 1882, the anniversary of its regimental organization, it went into the first regular and pitched hattle. Capt Cole, after he had won undyin laurels on a number of hard-fought fields, expressed the opinion, that in no battles up to that of Chancellors ville was the musket-firing severer than the showers of leaden hail at Seven Pines to which his regiment was ex posed. Of that brilliant engagement, he thus wrote : " I have heard and read of active service ; but I never be fore knew aught of it. It is like the beauty of the striped viper, whose poisoned fangs send death into the system. Hard marches, long fasts, rains and floods, thickly interspersed with scouts and pitched battles, are the essence of history, the beauty of romance ; but to the poor soldier, who labors, endures, fights, there is nothing that looks, tastes or feels beautiful. I remember to have heard, in ray early boyhood-days, a negro melody, which said the height of happiness to a Vir ginia negro consisted in eating parched corn and lying by the fire. LJiave gone to the top of Ethiopian happiness. Be fore the battle, it had rained in tor rents. The enemy had thrown across the Chickahominy, as it was thought, about thirty thousand men. The stream was flooded and the swamp was overflown. All these things were, I suppose. Jtnown to the commander; but of thsejtAeiinderlings were per fectly ignorant Now was the time to strike. These men could not be re enforced, nor could they make their es cape. We were to kill, capture and drown the whole of them. If this were the programme, we failed. The fight commenced too late iu the afternoon. The first guns did not fire until after 1 o'clock. This was on our extreme right The line of battle was about four miles long. The right made the first attack and drove back the enemy, and the fight gradually extended toward the left Our regiment marched in the morning about eight miles, nearly half the time at a double-quick. Arriving within two miles of the line, we halted and rested about two hours, and were, then, ordered up at double-quick, the enemy, iu this time, having been driven back about a mile and beyoiiVh his camp. We reached the field about 5 o'clock. A sudden cessation was made iu the fight. We were on the extreme left, and just at this time signs of the presence of the enemy were observed iu a piece of woods to our left and rear. The enemy was in full retreat all along the line; the swollen stream was near at hand ; and a little more the retreat would have been a route. Night was fast closing in, and the day's work, commenced after the day was more than half gone, was still incom plete. There was no time to be lost, and without reconuoitering this new position of the enemy, a regiment was ordered to sweep the woods, and then another, and still another, until there were some ten or twelve regiments thrown in, one upon another, in a small piece of woods, so thick.with under brush you could not see a man twenty steps. The consequence was the men of different companies, regiments and brigades were promiscuously mixed, as were also the commanders from brigades down. In all my readings of veterans and coolness under fire, I have never conceived a picture of cool ness surpassing that of our men in this fight We first laid down in an oat field until the arrangements could be made, and, then, under fire of musket ry and a field-battery, we marched about two hundred yards in open plain ; then, across a swamp about knee-deep in mud and water, say, fifty yards ; then, through the thick brush about three hundred yards. The enemy were in rifle-pits up to their shoulders, and the fire seemed to come up out of the ground, in one continuous stream just apparently at our feet ; but not a single Yankee did I see. The fire was not in successive cracks; neither would the usual term used by historians 'the roll of musketry 'answer the description. It was one continuous roar, a peal of thunder, for more than half an hour. I could not make myself fnnrrh rhf fYnnr of mv coin- w , J nanv. Col. Lioiitfoot and Lieut. Col. Long were taken prisoners. I was with them, aud, from that time, it could not have been more than three minutes before they were captured. With me were a few of my men, but the rest of the regiment could not be found. I sheltered my men and went out to find the color, which properly belonged to my company and which I felt an especial interest in defending. I went backward and forward for some time, the balls all the while flying as thick as is possible for the liveliest im agination to conceive. I returned to my squad could not find the color, or any signs of the regiment Just at this time, Col. Long came hy, exclaim ing, 'Where is the Twenry-Secowfc Regiment V I replied: 'Here it is.' I had some dozen men. 'Rally the regiment for God's -sake, rally the reg iment,' was his response. Just then Col. Lightfoot came up from the op posite wing, inquiring : ' Where is the Twenty Second regiment f I replied, as before, when he too ied out to rally. Just here came back the last fragments of the regiments we had in the woods. Lightfoot and Long were both crying out at the top of their voices for the Twenty-Second to rally and form a line. One Captain and one Lieutenant and about twenty men joined me, and we formed a line of bat tle. The enemy was advancing; balls were flying thicker and still thicker ; but Col. Lightfoot disdained to leave and ordered the men to lie down. We did so and remained here until the enemy Was within thirty j ards of our front, judging by the cracking of the bushes, and in our rear on both flanks. They had made a circuit of the woods in order to surround and capture all stragglers and those slow to leave. Col. Lightfoot saw our situation aud ordered us to escape. He and Col. Long both started back at the same time. We had about one hundred and fifty yards to go before reaching the swamp. I suppose they frcre eitlior two slow or took an unfortunate route. I feared they were either killed or wounded. But of them we knew noth ing. I was never so completely broken down in my life it was with difficulty I could even walk. I supped upon Yankee crackers that night and slept upon and under Yankee ' fixins.' Next day, Sunday, I stood in line of battle the livelong day, with the expectation that we would be in another fight I hardly had strength to hold up my sword, and my feet were so skinned, I could scarcely make a step. Sincerely did I wish to be excused from a fight, this dag. Our regiment went into the fight with the rise of four hundred, and we collected together that night and next morning about two hundred, one half of these begging to be allowed to go to the rear, complaining of being so sick they could not march.-' Thus closed, and gloriously too, the first year of his military life. (TO BE CONTINUED.) t Proposed Annexation of British Col umbia. A telegram from Sau Francis co, Feb 15th says : "In consideration of an attempt of the English Govern ment to unite British Columbia to the Dominion of Canada, resolutions have been introduced in the Legislature to the effect that it is of the utmost im portance that British Columbia should be annexed to the United States, and that our Senators and Representatives be requested to urge the Government at Washington to use all honorable means to acquire said teritory; also, that the Governor be instructed to telegraph these resolutions to the Pres ident, members of Congress of Cali fornia, and the other Pacific States. rtis said that certain native artist, when they would drill a hole in pearls, first fit them loosely in apertures bored in anieee of wood. Then a little water is sprinkled around them, which grad ually penetrates the fibres and causes the wood to "swell;" until! each little pearl is held as firmly as in a vice. Indeed, no vice could hold such deli cate little treasures without injuring them. Why cannot two slender persons ever beeome great friends ! Because they will always be slight acquaintances. FADED HOPES. Other arms shall twine around thee, Other lips shall meet with thine, Other voices greet thee fondly, For thou never can'it be mine ; Other hearts may love and cherish, Others worship at thy shrine j But with me thy smiles must perish, I must every thought resign, Chorus Ere the leaves of autumn wither, Ere the cold winds sweep the skies I shall have forgot forever The effulgence of thine eyes. Other smiles shall beam upon thee, Other hands shall smooth thy hair ; Other whispers breathe " I love thee," Thou shalt be another's care. When the silver moonlight brightens Thou shalt seek another's breast ; Sweeter words thy soul shall lighten, Softer lips kiss thee to rest. Ere the leaves of autumn wither, Ere the cold winds sweep the skies, I shall have forgot forever The effulgence of thine eyes. Thou ehalt be as one that never Reigned supreme within my heart ; Every sacred tie shall sever, Every tender smile depart. The Confessions of a Specula- toe. The following interesting auto biography should be read by all young men just entering business-life. The touching style in whieh it is written will thrill every heart, and the affect ing incident with which it closes will find its actual reflection in every cjty in the world: . " I bought oil on the rise a nd sold on the lows. The longer I waited for it to go up, the longer it kept wenting down, until I didnt own a darn bit of oil, and owed a bill for storage. I signed the bill tor storage over to my wife, and busted : had a meeting of creditors, the nrst meeting ot any Kind I ever attended. It was bully. They took a vote and it was unanimous in flavor of accepting 110 cents on the dol lar, " pro rata." Then I voted unani mously in favor Of paying nothing and giving my notes at six, twelve and eighteen months for that amount ; the committee then ris, and I thought from their actions thry had oonoludcd to lay me on the table, or under it but they din't ; they called me some nice pretty little names and left. It was as nice a looking lot of credi tors as any body ever had ; gold-spectacle fellows; they did my house credit in calling ; I never had so many nice turnouts in iront ot my door betore ; and as I gazed out ot my window peo pie took me for a bride-groom. I'm lucky on specs not specs for your nose, but specs lor your don't nose. once bought a patent plow, hired ten men to sell 'em ; they worked three weeks aud called at every house in Brooklyn, and didn't sell any : then I purchased a patent gas meter, and showed it to every former in New Jer sey, but it didn't take, and I sold my samnle to an old gal. I told her it was a new Universal Camden and Amboy Butter Churn ; that all she had to do, provided she felt like doing it, was to pour the milk in at the top and the butter part would stay in arid the milk part of the milk would run out, and when the pinter on the dials moved to 8, the butter would be done and ready to 8. I sold it three years ago, and I I hav'nt heard of the piuters getting to 8, yet I told her she could also use it as a mantel ornament and there was no instrument known that would tell her better when 4 or 5 thousand o'clock comes. I once purchased 212 dozen black and tan pups at the rate of $120 dol lars per dozen ; then I paid at the rate of f 12 per dozen to get ineir ears cut ; ftev crrow vm until t.hev cot so thev could yelp all night, and bite the chil tireu, tear ciotnes ana cnew Huuga mi ioi- in fart, thev inst ffot to be inter esting when they were taken sick, the black all came on, men me ihu-itoui their hind legs gave out, the starch came out of their tails, and they ex pired jn a wash-boiler full of water with a couple of smoothing irons tied to their nesks. Such is life; every thing I put my hands to don't turn to money. I once knew an industrious boy whose parents were poor, but hon est. He commenced life iu the com mercial metropolis without a cent; he had a wart on his nose, and a sore foot but nothing daunted, he worked with o ' j..

Alv V, v.an llnnkins. of England, is satisfied that the crust of our globe is slowly traveling northward, ami tunc in a few centuries, New England will be at the .North Pole. Philadelphia will then probably be in Canada, and, Pe tersburg w here Philadelphia is now. A Remarkable Invention. It is stated that a German glassmaker has lately made a remarkable discovery. He has invented a telescope, Of magnifying glass, by means of whlcli the most in tr i cate nerves aud vessels inside of the body may be seen from the ontside. In fact, the whole arrangement and action of the interior organs, may, by means of this glass, be distinguished. The discovery will probably be of Ini- mouse beiujflt to mankind, as by meMMf of it the physician will be able to de termine, with unvarying accuracy, the nature of any particular disease, and the proper manner for treating the same. The name of the inventor, who wm probably realize a fortune from his dis covery, is Gottlieb Jttntz. He is very poor, -but a well-read and highly intel ligent man. He has an aged mother, an invalid wife, six children, and a bind sister, all dependent upon him for support. His mother was well ac quainted with the poet Goethe, and it was probably her many anecdotes of this illustrious person which first in spired her son with a desire to do some thing to win the respect and esteem of his fellow-men. The glass he has made will probably place him among the first rank of inventors, and win for him the esteem of whole nations. By means of this invention he has already nearly cored his wife. J months ago a well-known doctor said she could not live, and pronounced her disease to be an affection of the heart. Juntz has, however, proven to him, with the aid of the wonderful micro scope that he was entirely mistaken ; the stomach alone being the part af fected. We are eagerly looking for farther information regarding Juntz and his wonderful glass. Chat ham. The following extract from a private letter to the Editors conveys cheering intelligence from this county: " I am gratified to believe that the white spirit in this county is fully rous ed. We had a fine meeting, in the court-house, on Tuesday las. Commit tees were appointed to canvass every district The members of the Leagues (whites) are pouring out, declaring their purpose to go, in this contest of races, with their own color." The same letter says : " I hear we have a negro candidate in this military district for the position of Captain in the Militia. The whites don't like the prospect of having to answer before negro Courts Martial." Raleigh Sentinel, Stop that Bog. A Cigar in his mouth a swagger in his walk, impudence in his face, a care-for-nothingness in his manner. Judging from his demeanor, he is older than his father, wiser than his teacher, more honored than the mayor of the town, higher than Hie President. Stop him ; he is going too fast He don't know his speed. Stop him ere tobacco shatters his nerves, ere pride ruin his character ; ere the loafer masters the man ; ere good, am bition and manly strength give way to low pursuits and brutish aims. Stop all such boys ! They are legion; shame of their families, the disgrace of their town, the sad and solemn reproaches of themselves. After the death of Bishop Polk, in his left breast-pocket was found his book of Common Prayer, and, in the right four copies of,a little mannel en titled "Balm for the weary aad wound ed." Upon the fly-leaf of three had been the names respectively ot "Gen eral J. E. Johnston," "Lieutenant Gen eral Hardee," "Lieutenant General Hood," with the "compliments of Lieu tenant General Leonidas Poik, June 12, 1SGL" Upon the fourth was his own name. In one of the Society Islands the Siamese twins are paralleled. Two girls, infants as yet? are united at the hip, but are otherwise physically sep arate. The sympathy between them is said to be extraordinary. The King and. Queen of the islands have adopted them, and lately refused to part with them long enough to carry them to one f the villages to be photographed. M ( iM . .ii.,iii..i ii . .i' - -- - - - -
